What a great idea! If someone you know is having a baby or is recovering from surgery, this is a great way to coordinate meal delivery between friends/coworkers/church parishoners.
After having tried to coordinate meals for friends using message boards, email and other comparatively archaic methods, I can’t believe that this is the first time I’ve heard of such a service. You can create a meal calendar complete with a list of favorite foods, gift card options, contact information, maps and directions!! Check out more at www.mealbaby.com

My husband just found this website and I thought I should pass it on to you. As a mom, I spend a lot of time and energy thinking about what is going into my toddler’s belly. I wonder, “Is he getting a balanced meal?”, or “Is he eating too much/too little?”, or “Should I be giving him certain types of food to enhance his brain development?”.

I don’t know about you, but I love baby names. I’m always on the look out for a great name and Nymbler.com is by far the best baby naming website I have found thus far. Nymbler.com is “your personal baby name assistant” and makes naming your baby super easy. I love that you can add in names and then get a ton of names that are related. Once you find a name you like you can click the red heart in the name’s box and add it to your “‘My Favorites” list.
